AMM's POV

Assisting to three different funerals in a day had been more than Harry could handle. And for Ted as well. By the end of his wife's burial he had tried to leave, Narcissa at this had held unto him and even interlined her arm with his and stayed with him through the burial of Lord Cygnus.

"But..."

"You're family, Brother." Harry heard Bellatrix and Narcissa argue with the man. "Mother wants you to stay at Black Manor with little Nymphadora. At least for the next couple of days. You lost a wife, but we lost a sister and a father. Mother... our mother lost a husband and a daughter. Don't make us lose you and Nymphadora as well."

"Don't you care our blood..."

"Professor Mather's parents were a Muggleborn and a Pureblood. Like you and Andromeda. As long as you are willing to understand the way we have our rituals, we don't see a problem."

Harry moved away, giving them some privacy. Tom raised an eyebrow when he approached at the living room of Black Manor after the burials.

–Bellatrix and Narcissa cornered Ted.–

Tom's arm passed behind Harry's back and held him close.

–He Is a Muggleborn in a family of closed minded Purebloods. I understand why they need to do that.–

–They are telling him to stay.– Harry argued puzzled.

–I know. I was there when Druella told every Black that she wanted Tonks to stay. She didn't give them a choice.–

–How did Cousin Walburga react to that? She's lots more closed minded than Aunt Dorea and you know the arguments I had with her because of the way we saw things differently.–

–I reminded them of your Halfblood status. That even a Muggleborn - as long as he is ready to learn - can be a powerful ally.– Tom replied, kissing the top of Harry's head.

–I wasn't...– Harry argued.

–I know, but that's because Hogwarts in your future has changed a lot.–

Harry looked at where Ted was.

–I wasn't the worst.– Tom hummed. –My best friend knew more about the Wizardry World than I did... but she was more closed minded when it came to differences than I was.–

–Young Ronald's ex?– Tom asked and Harry nodded. –Yes, I remember that we agreed that she would've be adopted and have a different upbringing. I want to do that to all Muggleborns.–

–What?– Harry asked, turning towards the man confused.

–Take them from Muggles at birth and replace with orphan Muggles... or by Squibs.– Harry's eyes grew. –Before you argue. If you had been raised by Wizards... wouldn't you prefer?–
